Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Tifton

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9/10. 65% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10. At $1,004 a month, rents run 26% over what the rest of Tifton commands. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

It sits 0.7 points below the Tift County average of 4.0. Nationally it ranks #61,558 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $44,750.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
